Fructose
Fructose (Product Code: SCL385/0101) is an analytical reagent grade fruit sugar, a ketose, used as a known reducing-sugar sample for carbohydrate tests in school, college and university biology laboratories. Packed as 500 gm with its MSDS, it lets students check their Benedict's or Fehling's technique on a reliable reference before testing unknown food extracts. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India serving educational institutions.

What Is Fructose Used For?
In the classic food-test practical, a fructose solution made up in distilled water is warmed with Benedict's or Fehling's solutions. Because fructose is a reducing sugar, a coloured precipitate forms, confirming that the reagents and heating step are working before students move on to fruit juice, honey or other samples. Fructose is also the usual positive sample for Seliwanoff's test, where ketoses develop a red colour faster than aldoses such as glucose, making it a useful teaching pair with glucose.
For day-to-day handling in school biology lab equipment setups in India, take out small portions with a clean, dry spatula and close the container straight away, as sugars readily absorb moisture and cake. Prepare sugar solutions fresh for each session and label them clearly, since stored sugar solutions can support mould or bacterial growth that spoils results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I receive when I order Fructose?
An order of Fructose brings one 500 gm container of analytical reagent grade fruit sugar per pack, supplied together with its MSDS. Other reagents for the sugar tests, such as Benedict's or Fehling's solutions, are ordered separately.
Is a purity or assay figure available for Fructose?
No assay value is stated for this Fructose; the product is listed as analytical reagent grade. If your tender or protocol needs a specific purity figure, please ask through our contact page before ordering.
Can Fructose be used as the positive sample for Seliwanoff's test?
Yes, Fructose is the ketose normally used to show a positive Seliwanoff's result, developing a red colour faster than aldoses such as glucose. The Seliwanoff's reagent itself is not included with this pack and must be sourced separately.
How long does Fructose keep?
The shelf life of Fructose depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place so the sugar does not absorb moisture and cake.
Is a certificate of analysis provided with Fructose?
The MSDS is supplied with Fructose as standard. Availability of a certificate of analysis or other batch documentation should be discussed with us through the contact page before you place the order.
Who supplies Fructose?
Fructose is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, from Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sends it to schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets, and packing and shipping terms for chemicals are confirmed order by order.
What should an institutional quotation request for Fructose include?
An institutional quotation request for Fructose should mention code SCL385/0101, the number of 500 gm packs, the delivery address and any other reagents needed for the same practical, so everything can be quoted together.
